Which market has the freshest Thai basil and tamarind? Which restaurant has the spiciest tomatillo sauce? What’s the difference between Hunan and Szechuan?

New York has always been the quintessential American “melting pot.” While many cities have developed a broad selection of ethnic restaurants, only in New York did such a wide variety spring, not from transplanted chefs, but from the neighborhoods and immigrants themselves, creating dishes straight from the family recipe books.

Discover cuisine by its particular neighborhood in the guise of walking tours, including food descriptions and pronunciation guides. Tours also point out bakeries, food shops, markets, and gift shops so that the readers can bring the flavor of the neighborhood into their own kitchens.

Important practical information such as directions by car or public transportation, hours of operation, telephone numbers, addresses, and maps is also included.

America’s most populous region is also home to some of the nation’s most serenely beautiful country. Tracing a gentle, thousand-mile curve from New York City southwestward to Montgomery, Alabama, the Piedmont connects an arc of urban centers which includes five state capitals, America’s largest city, and the national capital. Between the Atlantic coastal plain and the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Piedmont’s rolling hills span miles of farmland and forest. Michael Godfrey’s Field Guide to the Piedmont—originally published by Sierra Club Books and here newly revised and updated—is an informative and entertaining guide to the entire region’s habitats, ecosystems, and rich botanical communities.

Focusing on plant succession, geology, soils, climate, and the plants and animals with which we share the land, Field Guide to the Piedmont also features 180 illustrations for easy identification of the Piedmont’s principal flora and fauna. A chapter describing and providing directions to over fifty sites of special interest will inspire Piedmont residents to take this field guide in hand and explore their natural surroundings.

New York churns at a relentless pace. It is constantly being rebuilt, torn down, and rebuilt again to make way for the next era of commerce and culture. It is truly the sum of its neighborhoods, all of which offer a different perspective on the history and attitude of the city, each of which is best explored on foot.

Secret New York delves below the surface of this vibrant city into the areas that shape New York, with walking tours that consider both the prominent buildings of the skyline and the hidden gems beneath the grid. Navigating a city on foot is the most tangible way to discover its secrets, and as a pedestrian city, New York lends itself to exploration more than most. As one of the first major cities of the United States, New York offers a glimpse of the country’s early history, and as one of its most international cities, New York combines the best of the world’s art, food, and way of life.

Secret New York offers a fabulous introduction to New York and its outer boroughs, as well as a deeper look at the areas that fall below the radar of traditional guidebooks. Full-color photographs capture the treasures tucked behind every corner, while clear, easy-to-follow route maps highlight places of special interest. For travelers and residents who want to gain familiarity with the city and know more of its peculiar hidden life, this book offers a rare perspective of a remarkable place.

A horticultural escape and guided tour through all the best- and little-known gardens in New York City’s five boroughs.

Tucked inside venerable museums, perched on rooftops, concealed behind sleek midtown facades, and waiting beyond unassuming gates you may have passed a hundred times, if you know where to look, remarkable gardens welcome visitors in almost every corner of New York City.

From the windy bluffs of The Heather Garden in Fort Tryon Park to the bold, contemporary Gantry Plaza State Park in Hunters Point, Queens, to the innovative, recently-opened High Line, this pocket-sized guide tells the stories of more than 100 gardens in New York City’s boroughs. In addition to presenting the flora and fauna of New York’s urban fabric, it also chronicles the history, events, and personalities behind the green spaces visited by generations of New Yorkers. More than 50 color photos showcase the gardens, with each garden entry offering complete visitor information, clearly-labeled maps of each borough or region, and lively anecdotes sprinkled throughout.

My son Alexander was born in New York City, a town millions of children call home. These kids love to share their backyard (Central Park), their playgrounds, their restaurants, their favorite museums and their passion for New York. They make sure the Big Apple doesn’t lose its youthful charm, despite being the most sophisticated and cosmopolitan of cities.
And that plan to kill New York’s soul, to rip out its heart and to destroy its reputation as the world’s most sensational city: Fuhgedaboudit! September 11 personified New York, and New Yorkers—of every age—have become fiercely defensive of their City while also extremely generous in showing visitors a good time. Tourists, too, are protective of this great city that was so badly wounded and have come out in force to embrace the city in solidarity and in awe of the dignity of its people. Talk about strength in numbers! And, according to one marketing survey, New York was ranked one of the top five places that parents had on their wish list to vacation with their children.
Even the brattiest of New Yorkers stroll wide-and-starry-eyed at the city’s wonders. And every morning brings the promise of a new discovery, a new treat for the senses, a gift. The City’s spirit is as contagious as a deep belly laugh—you’ll catch it and pass it along. Promise. Yes, you’ll find some crab apples and worms in the Big Apple. But, when you pack up to return home, you’ll agree that New York is one helluva town.
